Hi very new here! I have booked my medical and visa a day apart (28th and 29th) is this fine (I obviously expect some kind of delay coming with this) 

 

I have seen few people have their medical and visa in a day and it been fine, but I'm just unsure and would like to ease my mind a bit! 

 

Roughly how would the delay be? Would they not approve me at all? Or would they approve me depending but providing the medical comes back okay?( heard this before happening) 

 

Some folk who have waited 5 days after their medical STILL haven't got their medical results so I assumed I would be in the same boat, sorry I'm rambling now haha. 

 

Thank you for reading!

The results will not get to the embassy in time so they can provisionally approve your visa pending the medical results and once they do receive the results they will process the approval.

Both the embassy and medical clinic websites still say five days between. That hasn't happened in a year. Two weeks is a better choice if you want your visa approved on interview day and back to you in 7-8 days. 

 

You'll get the visa, but could be left wondering maybe 3 weeks, so don't get crazy worrying and checking your status constantly as soon as you interview. The timing may work out similar to having a later interview. It's just that people get obsessed with the delay and go crazy posting questions about it and comparing what is happening to other people. Understand that nothing significant is going to happen for up to two weeks while the medical works its way to the embassy and the embassy gets around to going back to finish yours up. Understand that is normal and doesn't mean anything is wrong with your case.

Thank you :) I have been losing sleep over this honestly after a Facebook visa group I'm in were telling me all sorts of things and that I wouldn't get approved at all because of the time between the two appointments. Thank you very much!

I mean technically you arent gonna get approved, because the officer doesnt know the results of the medical.

But if the medical is fine, then you just have a little delay on getting approved.

Oh yes I'm aware! People have mentioned if there are no medical results they provisionally approve until medical results are received. (Not people in my short case but people who have booked weeks between the two appointments)
